How can I install it?
- .Put the plugin in the plugins folder
- Run the server and stop it
- Compile the configuration files (there are many files there, in the beginning you just need to compile the database.yml one)
- The plugin is now working!
Which are the commands and the permissions?
Commands
The main command (which is configurable itself!) is "/sw". If you type it without any argument it will suggest you the help subcommand. Its content is shown here (commands and descriptions are configurable):
Commands
- Players see this
- Admins see also this
Permissions
Permission for players: spacewars.playPermission for admins: spacewars.admin
Note that if a player tries to perform an admin command, the plugin will answer the command not found message.
If a player doesn't have players permission, the version of the plugin will be returned as answer.
Ok, that's all interesting, but how can I create an arena?
(Assuming the commands are the default):
- Using "/sw pos1" and "/sw pos2" commands select the extremities of the arena (remember the height!)
- Type "/sw create"
- Now you have created the borders. Type "/sw spawnpoint myarena" to set the spawnpoint of the team red (the "myarena" is the ID of the arena where we're going to set spawnpoint and other stuff). Go ahead typing that command for the number of teams which you prefer (there is a maximum of 8)
- Go where you want to set a nexus and type "/sw nexus myarena". This will set the RED nexus first, and then the same colors of the spawnpoints. The nexus is composed by a beacon and four obsidian blocks. By default (it can be changed in the settings) the obsidian blocks are 3 blocks away from the nexus in the four directions, and one block lower
- Optionally you can set the circles for the spawn of the powerups. Once you chose the location (you can set as many itemspawner as you wish) you have to type "/sw itemspawner myarena"
- The same works for shops. A shop is an invincible Villager without the AI. Note: the villager will look in the same direction you'll be looking when you type that command
- Last thing, you need to set the lobby of the arena where the players will be teleported while waiting for the game to begin. To set the lobby, type "/sw lobby myarena". Note: the lobby needs to be in the same world of the map
- Remember to set the main lobby of the gamemode with "/sw mainlobby"
- Finished! To join the arena you can type "/sw join" or "/sw join myarena", or place a sign (on the wall or on the floor) and type in the first line "[SpaceWars]", and in the second line the name of the arena. Then you'll click on the sign
- If you made any mistake while you were setting up the arena, you can type (in the case of the spawnpoints) "/sw delspawnpoints myarena" to reset them (and the nexuses).
That's a lot of stuff! I just want to try the game!
You can download an arena world here: map
, then you'll put this file inside the SpaceWars folder (replacing the old one). The sign on the wall won't work, you'll need to replace them following the point 9's instructions
Languages
The configurations files are created by default in English, here I'll post the download files for other languages (if you wish to support SpaceWars by sending the translations for your language, you're welcome).
